I saw champagne mangoes on sale at Whole Foods and thought:
I can make that into dinner tonight
champagne?! love
thinking about a food that will satisfy your hunger is a great way to intuitively build your meals. try to pinpoint one thing you’re craving, and then once you have an item think about how to make it balanced (include a carb, protein, fat, and veggies).
tonight this turned out to be air fried coconut shrimp over cilantro lime rice with fresh mango.
you could also add a mango chutney or soy-based sauce for a little extra flavor and it would be delicious!
